poinsettia pops
Pops Series No. 1
A regional calendar highlight and Greeley’s favorite holiday tradition, your Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, Greeley Chorale, and Greeley Children's Chorale again take the stage in the poinsettia-adorned Monfort Concert Hall! Start the evening with the Magic Baton Melody Contest celebrating our winning Greeley-Evans School District 6 middle school student composer. Then, the musicians fill the hall with holiday spirit as they perform classic gems such as “The First Nowell,” “Sleigh Ride,” and Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony. Sure to have you singing all the way home, the concert “wraps” up with the orchestra and choir performing “Angels We Have Heard On High,” arranged by Mack Wilberg. Come gather with us, experience the last night of the Festival of Trees, and have your photo taken with Santa - all included with your ticket!
This concert is presented by Robert & Diane Miller and DoubleTree by Hilton.
